Cherie's Place » Lake District http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Wed, 29 Apr 2026 23:45:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Throw Back Thursday http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2022/04/15/throw-back-thursday/ http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2022/04/15/throw-back-thursday/#comments Thu, 14 Apr 2022 23:53:02 +0000 CherryPie http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=24770 Lake District

Walking in the Lake District 22 years ago, the year before the Foot and Mouth outbreak in 2001.
The outbreak led to me getting out of the habit of walking. I am so happy to have re-acquired the habit. My first tentative steps back into walking were in 2018, then in 2019 I came across #walk1000miles which encouraged me to walk more. Now I just need to become as adventurous as I always used to be ????
I still have these boots, I think I bought them on my journey to the lakes. I also have the hat which is long overdue an adventure…

As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old age, so too at the time of death he attains another body. The wise are not deluded by these changes.

These photos were all hand held in low lighting without using the flash, they have all turned out rather jiggly.  I really don’t believe that I am displaying my sub-standard photos for everyone to see!

The road along the pass is very curved and also very scary if you are traveling along it in a car.

Fast forward to this morning when I had to make numerous phone calls to get meetings and contacts etc.  During one of my phone conversations I found out that the meeting had been cancelled because another more urgent meeting was taking place, which I should have been notified about!!!  So at least those arrangements have been sorted properly now.

Even my visit to the hairdressers was not stress free (I normally find it quite relaxing).  The phone kept ringing every few minutes, which meant my hairdresser had to stop what she was doing to answer the phone.  Then when I was having my head cooked to set my perm I experienced a loud crackling noise and felt a funny sensation on the top of my head…

When I had surfaced from being engrossed from my book I reasoned that one of bands on the perm rods had split and I wasn’t being frazzled alive by a faulty hairdryer.

And if all that wasn’t bad enough, the project manger has surfaced again with some last minutes tasks before the conference!

Enjoy the View
